Out door malls in Arizona
Palm decor
Brunch time with misting lines 108° today….we ate inside. We’re not seasoned Arizonaian’s yet. Outside dinning in this weather is for guys like poncho and lefty. {{{{Laughs}}}}
In Arizona misting lines are hung above out door dining, for a refreshing mist that slightly caresses you while you’re enjoying your brunch.

Where Will you be tomorrow…
“Carry On” by…
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I’ll go mine and carry on.
The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.
The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
To sing the blues you’ve got to live the tunes and carry on.
Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.
Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?
Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
What was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?

Published by Dawna Bowles (C)2014 from Iblogstr8sicit.WordPress.com
Is when you give up.
There are moments, sometimes hours, and at times, days that I feel like I can’t, or maybe that I don’t want to continue to do the things I love, and I feel like giving up.
I know this mindset is nothing but a self-defeating attitude that is a result of looking back at my life, and wishing that I would have done things differently.
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, for a self confirmation in order to rid myself of pride and futile thoughts.
“I give up all hope of having a better past.” There.
“Now, I must do the thing I think I cannot do.” –Eleanor Roosevelt-
The only one thing that I know to be effective at times like these, is to make a gratitude list for everything I have, and forget about everything I want.
My serenity is directly proportional to my ability to, “Accept the things I cannot change, and the courage to change the things I can.” –Bill W.-
I won’t give up, I will continue to be present in my life, and love myself, in spite of myself.
I pray that His will be done, refusing mine.
True serenity is to find peace in the midst of the storm.
I’m grateful that I am willing to see that I’m stuck, and I am able to take action in order to rid myself, of self.
I will never give up on love.
GOD help me this day.

Excellent article!
Robin Williams, what can we say, you are gone and so is a part of us.
Today’s memory saddens us.
Yesterday’s memories will keep you with us forever, always encouraging our hearts to smile.
Your astounding ability to nudge us out of our comfort zones, has changed us profoundly, and because of it, we are wiser.
You were a lighthouse, when we needed guidance and understanding of our world.
You made us laugh in spite of ourselves.
You gave us a uniqueness of vision that could never be surpassed.
You touched our hearts, and made us feel love, no matter how hard we tried not to feel.
You turned our sadness into endless smiles.
You challenged our minds to ponder.
You were a bridge that we needed to cross.
You were our reflections when we were afraid to see.
Robin Williams, you are loved, and missed beyond measure and,
I can’t say it any better than Don Mclean.
“The world was never created for anyone as beautiful as you.”
Your friend and greatest fan always,
Sincerely,
Dawnasong

Blowing In The Wind – by Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see ?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
*Bob Dylan*
This is a repost of a poem I wrote this last winter, it’s also one of my favorites 🙂
It’s cold here tonight, hope everything turns out alright
I’ve decided not to come
I’ll be okay, just null
You’ll load another gun
How can you breath in space
No atmosphere nor face
Hope everything turns out alright
It’s hard when your a star
As for me
I’m turning out our light…
I wrote this poem for my son who is gay. I love him unconditionally, what can I say, well this is a reblog by the way 🙂
Remember when we used to sing the songs of long ago
Adore the artist biography of Michael Angelo
History of paintings
Of the wonders of Van Gogh
And together we created
Jeweler’s rainbow spectrums light
Fascinating chests filled with pirate loot
Poetry we created as are memories imagined
Of a time in space where peace and love prevailed upon our face
With telescopic views of galaxies
We traveled through the Milky Way
Light years of time
Super Novas visionarys mind
Son of love blessed by energies light
Only you can change the world by your demonstrated truth
Let your rainbow fly
True color says it best
The world was not ready to receive
The very best
Regardless you must use your talent
Or you will loose it like the rest
Je t’aime my son of positive energy
You no longer have to run

Before I retire for the evening, I thought I would share something that Is important in regards to judging others. 
Many years ago when I was a substitute teacher for the Matanuska Susitna school district in Palmer Alaska. I remember this particular morning that I was sent to Burchell High School.
This school was a continuation school. It was a school for troubled teens, if you will, or maybe teens with behavioral problems.
When I arrived at the school the attending counselor greeted me and asked if I had ever worked with these kinds of teens.
I told him I had, and his reply was music to my ears. He said, “I just want you to know that all of our students are not bad, to the contrary, they’re all good students, they have just made some bad choices.” He went on to explain that our job was to get them back on track. I was instructed to gently guide them and to always treat them with respect.
The staff and the students worked in unison. It was, and still is one of the finest schools I have subed for in my life.
It just goes to show that society’s opinion isn’t always accurate.
“Those who deserve love the least need it the most.”
I know there is a journey
Which lies ahead
It is clouded by doubt
And but for a moment
I am a prisoner in the eye of her storm
At times I see my radiance
I long to touch it only to find
My reach exceeds my grasp
I turn my head and cry
One thing I know for sure
If I continue to run
Love will never catch me…

I know what I feel
Deep inside that only I can hear my screams.
One day, I will reach so high.
I will catch all my dreams as, many as there are stars in the sky.
They will be mine.
I know that 0the weight of this world sits so heavily upon my chest that it is breaking my heart.
I know It is imperative that I not only sit in the rain but, taste it as well.
I know that sometimes I capture a photograph of love and it hurts.
And when I reach for it,
I discovered that it is only a negative.
And I sigh.….
Love, why must you hide your face from me?
I bleed.,.

When Christ said that man does not live by bread alone, he spoke of a hunger. This hunger was not the hunger of the body. It was not the hunger for bread. He spoke of a hunger that begins deep down in the very depths of our being. He spoke of a need as vital as breath. He spoke of our hunger for love.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world…
But with love, we are creative. With it, we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.

This evening we went for a bike ride.
I was beckoned by a lovely train that was passing.
I got off my bike and walked slowly towards the train and watched it disappear into the sunset.
I felt as though I was an innocent child again. I decided to walk on the tracks in reminiscence of my childhood when a walk on the railroad took all my troubles away.
We started walking and it felt as though I was tapping upon piano keys. I could almost hear the melody of their great history along with my nostalgic experiences as a child.
With a gentle breeze caressing my face as I danced along, it felt absolutely amazing and greatly peaceful.
My memories as a child includes my brother Joe and I. We would wait on the tracks patiently for the train to come so we could watch the colorful box cars pass and receive a wave, and a smile from the conductor on the caboose.
He left us with a feeling that not only were we alright, but the entire world was alright and a peaceful place to live.
My love of trains is a therapeutic melody to my soul, and a healing for my spirit. I must admit that I believe I fell in love with locomotives as a child and we will be in love till the day i die.
Once again love wins.

Are so damn mean
They never listen just sit and scheme
I try to express what’s in my heart
Sarcastic glares with eyes unseen
When night comes and I’m fast asleep
They sneek in and peer inside my dreams
Awakened by their sinister stares
I scream…!
“What are you doing in my dreams?”
They run with grins back on their walls
Oh I tell you true their day will come I’ll
Wash them clean right off the halls
Wallflowers are so damn mean
or so it seems…
